RE: Up, close, and personal with rheumatism

in StemSocial2 years ago

I took many days to read your post and it ended up past the deadline! But I'm here answering anyway. My mother has the same problem, but in her case it is difficult to define how much is rheumatism and how much is arthritis/arthritis. They are close variations and problems (at least for us in a simplistic view, and that makes me want to study them more in depth to understand), for her chronic arthrosis pain she was prescribed Pregabalin, which helps a lot at least in terms of reducing the pain and keeping her motivated to move and work, but the rheumatism issue seems to be inflaming her joints, especially the knee and now the hands. It will be a long journey of research to find a good way to resolve it.
